Enjoy year-round interest from eye-catching peeling bark, shiny green summer leaves, and a stunning autumn display in vibrant shades of red, purple, and yellow.
Delight in the unusual, small red flowers that appear on bare branches from late winter into early spring, providing a welcome splash of colour.
A slow-growing, compact tree reaching up to 8m, it can be easily pruned to fit gardens of any size, either as a standalone feature or in a mixed border.
Exceptionally hardy and low-maintenance, this tree is generally pest and disease-free and thrives in most conditions with minimal pruning.

Species: Persian ironwood
Key Features: Winter interest, Autumn colour, Attractive bark
Flowering Season: Winter
Flower Colour: Red flowers on bare stems in early spring
Foliage Colour: Green, turning to shades of orange, red, and purple in autumn
Position: Full sun to partial shade
Hardiness: H6 - Hardy in all areas of the UK
Soil: Prefers well-drained, loamy soils but will tolerate less than perfect conditions.
Eventual Spread: 4-8m unless pruned
Habit: Bushy, often with multiple stems arising from a central point.
Pest & Disease: Excellent pest and disease resistance.

Pruning: Minimal pruning is required. Prune lightly during the dormant season (November-March) to maintain the tree's shape.
Spacing: Space 4m apart to allow for spreading.
Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. Water every other day for the first few months, then reduce to twice a week until autumn. In the second year, it should only require watering in dry spells. It is better to water heavily and less frequently than little and often.
Feeding: Feeding is not required as this low-maintenance plant gets its nutrients from the soil.
Soil Preparation: If your soil is heavy or sandy, mix in some perlite or fine horticultural grit when planting to improve drainage.
